18/09/09. Great outing to Pulau Ketam, I never know that there is such an island near KL that you can go just for a day. It was a great trip with coursemates! 
At Port Klang. There were 8 of us, Grandpa Louis, Chong Leng, Peng Ying, Shee Cheng, Shin Yi, Cheah Ying, Yee Mun and me. KTM is very retarded. Grrrr...We departed at 9.15am from UM and reached there around 12.45pm.

Upon reaching Port Klang by KTM, we walked for 7 minutes to the jetty.
while waiting for boat. We met some super duper friendly peers who were going to Pulau Ketam too. It was drizzling when we reached the jetty.
The 8 of us!
The gals. in the boat. RM 7 per trip. Kinda expensive. There is a trip every one hour at the 45th min of each hour until 5.45pm. No worries if u miss the boat, there are hotel and inn there.
It took us around 45 minutes to reach Pulau Ketam. It is a perkampungan nelayan. A very very serene and peaceful escapade from the busy city. An ideal place for retirement. But the sea water is seriously polluted, residents there live just above the sea.There are mini police station ( which Louis expressed intention to do his attachment there) , voluntary fire station, clinic, temple, mosque, hotel and inn. Pulau Ketam is a majority Chinese populated place. In fact, I din even meet a single other race resident there.
The only mean of transport in Tam Tam island is bicycle. Serious, not even motor. and the road there is far too small for car. Every road is about the size in the picture. Act 333 has prohibited any motor vehicles in it. Thus, the air there obviously cleaner than the town.
Crabby!!! The reason why we were there..Seafood.
H1N1 spreading rapidly. Precaution must be taken. Peng Ying brought this anti-bacteria hand sanitiser along for us... Haha..
Ketua @ Cheah Ying serving rice for us. She is reali a nice person.
Crab. Very lazy eat de lo. anyway, ketua helped me to crack the shell. Hehe..
Fish balls soup.
Fried sotong.
Fried prawn. Thumb up!
Mantis shrimp. Double thumb up!! I'm loving it! Sorry, I am not the one taking this photo.
Lala, my favourite. Ok, there are still fish, vege, fruits and chinese tea. Each of us paid RM27 for the lunch. Reasonably priced I think.
The crab crab gesture. After lunch, we walked around this small perkampungan in less than one hour.
The local products.
Almost the same at Muar I think
The picture of the day!
Wow, this picture looks very 80's or 70's
We rented 3 bicycles because some of us wanted to walk. RM4 per day per bicycle.
So sweet!! Chong Leng and Peng Ying. Haha..
Cheah Ying chosen not a very suitable bicycle for her and she met with an minor accident with another uncle with bicycle.
The return journey. 3.45pm.
It was raining when we reached UM like around 730pm. Gosh, I really hate rainy day! I really hate KTM!! Wasting other people time.PS : Happy Holiday! well, not a so holiday for me though. Going back to Muar tomorrow and going JB in the evening.
